Making Your Garden Look Fabulous (for the green thumbless)

I have never had a green thumb nor will I ever, but I certainly do envy the people that do. I sincerely do not understand how one manages to keep their garden true to a Monet painting year round-- it will always be a mystery to me. As for my landscaping abilities... I don't have the time, energy, or talent that it takes to plant and maintain a sanctuary Esq garden.

Realistic Frog Figurine Handcrafted in the USA
Instead of fretting over the perfect garden - I use decorative accessories to not only jazz up my boring garden but also hide many of it's flaws. This Realistic Frog Figurine, for example, acts as a focal point for my garden. It in fact takes some of the attention off of my less than perfectly pruned bushes. It also suggests the idea that my garden is maintained enough to be inhabited by animals (little do they know...) My frog never needs to be pet, fed, or watered.. him and I have a fabulous relationship.

Snowman Outdoor Christmas Garden Stake by Regal GiftsIn addition to my green friend (who helps make up for my lack of green thumb) I also like to decorate for the seasons. No, I am not referring to the tacky blow up Santa and plastic deer- but rather, decorations like this tasteful Snowman Outdoor Garden Stake Serving as a taller focal point, Mr. Snowman also helps remind my garden gawkers that it is in fact winter and plants can't live in the cold! Sheesh.

Garden Tool Set Gardener Detachable Tool Bag and Folding StoolFor those of you that I will forever envy - my applause goes to you. Our garden decorations will only further beautify your masterpiece of a garden. These products don't have to act as a distraction method - it just simply works that way for my barren garden. As a peace offering to prove the lack of my animosity for your success I present you this Garden Tool Set ...but don't ask me how they work.
